Never Too Late
Never Too Late: My Musical Life Story | John Holt
1 post
If I could learn to play the cello well, as I thought I could, I could show by my own example that we all have greater powers than we think; that whatever we want to learn or learn to do, we probably can learn; that our lives and our possibilities are not determined and fixed by what happened to us when we were little, or by what experts say we can or cannot do.Best known for his brilliant insight into the way children learn, John Holt was also an intrepid explorer of adult learning. At the age of forty, with no particular musical background, he took up the cello. His touching and hilarious account of his passionate second career demolished the myth that one must start an instrument (or a sport, or a language) in early childhood, and will inspire any reader who dreams of taking up a new skill.

I'm humbly showing the six books I read in September😌I'm a slow reader but someday....I will read more books per month....someday😉

Tamra Quality over quantity! Life is busy too, I can only fit in so much. 5y
Gissy @Tamra True! Sometimes I can only read a couple of minutes before I go to sleep. But I enjoy what I read, quality reading as you said!😃 5y
Cpg That would be a feat for me!!! I read 2 in the last week or so and that was unusual! 5y

Gissy @Cpg We are normal readers I guess☺️Every time I see persons reading over 10 per month, I say to myself that they are supernatural readers😂amazing! But my problem is not that I am a slow reader, my problem is that I accumulate books like a fast reader😳stacks, piles of beautiful, lovely books!📚📚📚❤️❤️❤️❤️😌 5y
Chrissyreadit That is great!!!! 5y
LeahBergen Happy Birthday!!! 📚😘📚😘 5y
Cpg @Gissy I am a “book collector” then! 😆😆😆 I am always on the holds lists for all the libraries in my county! I think if I could devote hours each day I would be an “avid reader”! ***But for now I‘ve got many “things” going on- with grandchildren and young adult children! Lots of joy though❣️ 5y
